"It's a struggle when you haven't had a censor button on the sidelines," Miles said (via the Montgomery Advertiser). "You quickly find out I gave it the old college try, but it's not going to happen."

While Miles' decision may be disappointing to those who enjoyed the coach's eccentric on-air moments, it's probably for the best — we wouldn't want to see anything other than pure, unbridled Miles on TV, anyway.

Miles, 63, also said he's interested in coaching again. The Advertiser noted, however, that he didn't offer further insight into his coaching future. Since leaving LSU, Miles has been tied to open positions at Minnesota, Baylor and Ole Miss, among other programs.

Miles also addressed his firing at LSU in 2016. Despite the way things turned out, Miles said, he appreciated the opportunity to coach the Tigers. The team went 114-34 during his 12-year tenure.

"I'm very happy with where God took me," Miles said. "I had great assistants who were willing to sacrifice themselves for our teams. I got the chance to coach some great players who learned what it took to win.

"I miss the people who were so great to us. I'm still a Tiger, whether they want me or not."
